QUOTE

“I offer up your souls to God every day—that He may make you a true religious; it will be a source of happiness to you and a comfort to me; in fact, the only wish I have in this world is to see all my children one with Jesus, and working for His glory with all their hearts. All else is but vanity and vexation of spirit. Let us cling to God alone. It is the only way to find peace of mind and joy of spirit. Few know this happiness. Let us try to be of the few. You must get into the habit of refusing nothing to God and of at once sacrificing the most legitimate pleasures.”

We are called by God and sent by the Church to reproduce in ourselves: Christ healing... Christ consoling... Christ always aware of the needs of others.
